Scope and Content Note

The series consists of the administrative records of Neighbor's Network from 1975-1996, with the bulk of material from 1985-1996. The series includes correspondence, financial records, mailing lists, reports, and victims assistance files, as well as various policy documents, telephone hotline logs and transcripts of conversations, and other records. Correspondence is of a general nature and is primarily between Neighbor's Network and other organizations. Financial records are minimal, but include examples of budgets, treasurer's reports and fundraising efforts. Mailing lists in the series document members of Neighbor's Network, as well as organizations that were being monitored by Neighbor's Network. Policy documents include instructions for monitoring hate groups, as well as guidelines for volunteers and instructions for running regular meetings.

Reports make up a significant portion of the series, though they are not comprehensive. They include field reports documenting specific instances of hate group activity in Georgia and Tennessee; monitor's reports documenting infiltration of events held by hate groups; and other reports documenting meetings and conversations. Also present in the series are call logs from the Neighbor's Network telephone hotline, which record community members calling the organization to report hate group activity or ask for assistance. The series also includes detailed transcripts of conversations with a few individuals. Finally, victims assistance files document the efforts of Neighbor's Network to aid victims of hate groups, particularly members trying to leave such groups.
